NAIROBI: Scores of protesters were injured as police broke up Opposition demonstrations against the electoral commission in Nairobi, Kisumu and Homa Bay.

Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leaders yesterday blamed police for using live bullets, amid claims that one of the shots shattered the windscreen of Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s car. Raila, however, said he was not in the car at the time of the incident. The ODM leader explained that he could not tell whether it was hit by a stone or a bullet, and that he would wait for the outcome of investigations.
